Ulster Rugby: Pre-season Friendlies Confirmed

Ulster Rugby today confirmed that they will play August pre-season friendlies against Bayonne, Leicester and Newcastle…

Ulster will begin their preparations against French Top 14 side Bayonne on Thursday 9th August. The fixture is part of a five day pre-season training camp in the south of France and will be played at Parc des Sports Jean Dauger (8pm kick-off).

Ulster’s first pre-season match at Ravenhill will be played against Leicester Tigers on Saturday 18th (2.30pm kick-off).
